Overview
CT Ingeniero Juarez is a 4 MW diesel power plant in Argentina, operated by Industrias Juan F. Secco. The facility provides power generation capacity to the local grid.
CT Ingeniero Juarez is a diesel power plant located in Argentina, with a capacity of 4 MW. The facility is owned and operated by Industrias Juan F. Secco and is currently operational. As a small-scale diesel plant, it contributes to the regional power supply, particularly in areas where grid connectivity may be limited. The plant operates on oil as its primary fuel, typical for diesel power plants. In Argentina, such facilities are subject to national environmental regulations, including emission standards for particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Diesel plants of this size often serve as peaking or backup power sources. The environmental context of this facility involves its fuel type and capacity. Diesel combustion produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, and the plant's proximity to populated areas may influence local air quality. However, its small capacity (4 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint compared to larger fossil fuel plants. The facility plays a role in ensuring energy reliability in its region.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx. Its small capacity (4 MW) means a relatively low environmental impact compared to larger power plants. The facility's location in Argentina may be subject to national air quality standards, though specific local environmental conditions are not detailed.
